What a Monday!

Ok....I have two stories to tell you all lol....

1) I don't know if I will be living tomorrow to write. You should probably wait nervously by your computers......because I've been attacked by a dangerous beast!

Except....it wasn't exactly an "attack" per se. And well....I dunno if you could use the description..."beast." Ok.....so I'm totally overexaggerating lol.

What actually happened is that um...my family here has a illegal parrot. Its name is Roberto and its green and it talks all the time! (which I made add scares the crap out of me lol). I was being really stupid yesterday and I was trying to play with it through its cage, so it wrapped it's talon thing around my finger and reached his beak through and bit me! So yes....I have been bitten by a parrot. How cool/pathetic is that!?! haha

Don't worry though....I doused my finger in hand sanitizer and put on a couple band aids. Esta bien.

2) Then......my host mom invited me to go with her to her friends house and I didn't have homework so I though....why the heck not! O.M.G. It was sooooo funny. There were three women in their 50s drinking mezcal and smoking and gossiping about everyone in Oaxaca and their children. Seriously! And they spoke so fast that I probably only took in about a third of what they were saying!

Here's comes the good part....once they were done gossiping we went upstairs (where this woman has 2 illegal parrots and an illegal toucan lol) and they began talking about how much they looooooove food and their favorite recipes and stores. We ate cookies dipped in coffee and then chocolate and then I found out that here they have dessert before dinner, so after that we had quesidillas with spices and quesilla (oaxacan cheese) and this salsa that they keep saying was sooooo soooo rich and delicious. It was! And really hot. They said it was made of gusanitos and it wasn't until I had finished my final bite that they told me what that was. I thought....oh a type of veggie right? Nope. It's a type of worm. This woman made salsa with 150 LIVING worms by sticking them in a blender with other ingredients and....well.....you get the picture. I almost cried of shock! I can't believe I ate worms!

Then.....still recovering....I turn around in my chair while getting up and am face-to-face with a really fat, dead, STUFFED CAT! Apparantly it was this woman's favorite pet so now they keep it in their dining room.

Oh. My. Gosh.

All I can say......WHAT a Monday.
